I make roasted vegetables all winter long, but this favorite recipe for Greek Style Roasted Mushrooms with Red Pepper, Herbs, and Feta uses fresh oregano and mint from the garden, so it’s a perfect recipe for fall, when you still have fresh herbs but don’t want salads any more. And you can certainly get by with just one type of herb, or use basil if that’s what you have.

I love everything about these roasted mushrooms with Greek flavors, and my recipe was adapted from one that I saw in The Best Vegetable Recipes, a classic vegetable cookbook that’s so old now you can get it for a steal. Of course, being the intuitive type of cook that I am, I used more red pepper, used lots more lemon juice, used more oregano, and added mint to the original recipe.

What makes this recipe over-the-top good is the mixture of finely chopped roasted red peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh oregano, and chopped fresh mint, plus a generous amount of crumbled Feta cheese that you sprinkle over the roasted mushrooms when they’re done. Mmmmm, good! (And if it’s still grilling season where you are, that same red pepper mixture and Feta would be delish over Super Easy Grilled Mushrooms as well.)

How to Make Greek Style Roasted Mushrooms with Red Pepper, Herbs, and Feta:

(Scroll down for complete printable recipe.)

1. Preheat oven to 450F/220C and cover a large baking sheet with foil.
2. Finely chop the fresh oregano and fresh mint (or other herbs), and drain the roasted red peppers and finely chop.
3. Then stir together the chopped mint, chopped oregano, lemon juice, chopped red pepper, and 2 T olive oil and let the mixture sit on the counter while you prepare and roast the mushrooms.
4. Wash mushrooms if needed and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Cut mushrooms into same-size pieces and toss with 2 T olive oil, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
5. Put mushrooms on the baking sheet and roast about 15 minutes (or until mushrooms are starting to get brown and most of the liquid is evaporated).
6. Then remove the baking sheet from the oven, turn over mushrooms with a metal turn, and put back in the oven and roast about 10 minutes more.
7. Put mushrooms back in the bowl you used to toss them with olive oil, add the red pepper-herb mixture, and gently stir to combine.
8. Put mushrooms on a large serving platter and sprinkle with crumbled Feta. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

I used brown Cremini Mushrooms, also called Baby Bella mushrooms due to the brown color which resembles Portobellas. This is great with roasted peppers from a jar, but if you want to bump up the flavor with freshly roasted red peppers, here is How to Roast Red Bell Peppers on a Barbecue Grill.

This recipe adapted from The Best Vegetable Recipes by Cook’s Illustrated, a very old cookbook that I didn't find mentioned online.
